Introduction
I've been in the hobby for a touch over a year. For a year I ran a 10G and hung out at nano-reef. I've recently upgraded to a new light and moved everything to a new scape in a 20L. At the urging of some people on nano-reef I've been convinced to join dfwmas. I figured what better way to meet everyone than to introduce my tank! I'm currently in the process of the move to the 20L. The final custom sump is mostly finished. Just need to get a couple more parts for final plumbing to replace the temporary sump. I got bit by the upgrade bug and have an Apex Full on order that should be here soon and with that and the float switches I'll finally have sunrise/sunset for the LEDs and an ATO for the tank. It's going to be an exciting year next year and I can't wait to see this tank grow in like the last. Hello DFW!

Great looking tank and welcome to DFWMAS. This is a great site that even the most experienced aquarium addict can learn something.

Thanks for the welcome!

This is one hobby I don't think you ever stop learning in. I know you never stop spending money in it [smilie=lol.gif]

hrmm... I noticed I missed a image tag in the second post and it seems I can't edit it. Is editing only available for a limited time, or is it a member only benefit past a certain time?

Hi Veng,

Nice setup, first saw your tank in the Lighting forum on Nano-Reef - didn't know you were local. Your LED setup looks great, I'm planning a similar setup over my BC29.

Tank looks great! PM a Mod and they will fix your first post.

 

[Veng]

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I'm local. I need to start branching out some and getting into the local frag scene more. Need to fill up this tank and just can't find what I want at the LFS around here. :lol:

How's the tank going?

I haven't been good about posting updates on this thread... But here's an updated FTS.
